I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just saying that I've seen lots of
flamewars in the past, and I haven't seen much of anything productive
out of them. Stick around for a few years and see if you agree with
me. Or go take a look in the Amiga and NeXT groups if you'd like to
see a real live flamewar in action. When 80% of the postings are about
something most people aren't interested in, the group dies for a
while.

If I want to learn about other machines, I read their group or I go
see one in person.
